Everton have reaffirmed their stance against any proposed breakaway European Super League after fresh proposals for a 'multi-divisional' competition were revealed.
The failed attempt to launch the ESL back in April 2021 was a seismic event for European football as 12 of the continents biggest clubs attempted to engineer the biggest shake up the game had seen for decades. Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona were all part of the line up but the plans were met with an angry reaction from fans, leagues, governing bodies and other stakeholders and one by one the numbers of the dozen clubs committed dwindled until just three remained; Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
A22, the company engaged to facilitate the creation of the ESL, has been on the charm offensive over the past six months following the appointment of CEO Bernd Reichart, getting feedback 'from over 50 clubs' as part of their plans to bring about the project in a more palatable way than the one that was presented 2021.
